I'm assuming Sony paid for the content to be exclusive. There are a handful of games across all platforms that have exclusive content, games, etc. and sell for the same price. So Destiny doing this is not against the norm, but it's a marketing strategy to sway potential console buyers to one platform or another.

  • Marketing or not, you don't sell someone else something at the full price without promising them the rest at a later date. It's bullshit,I 've been playing the same missions over and over, and now I gotta buy some petty ass dlc if I want to play something new. I don't have a problem with that ,but dam,it just really isn't enough for the amount they are trying to charge. The levelcap only goes up from 30 to 32 how crappy is that 1 raid 3 story missions armor and 3 new arenas, and a few weapons. If I was an xbox owner I wouldn't by this shit dlc iether, it's a -blam!-ing ripp-off.It is totally unfair and bad for buisness. They most likely will contine to lose support over this rather then gain support. I guess Destiny just want be what I thought it could eventually be without proper contenet to keep people interested. No disrespect to bungie, but your game needs saving.

    I was talking about console exclusive content, not the DLC content? It definitely sounds like you're complaining about the whole concept of DLC, which is pretty much the standard throughout the gaming industry right now. Anyways... It's been known well before the game was released that Playstation would have some exclusive content. It's a marketing strategy for [b]SONY[/b]. They are basically paying Bungie/Activision for the exclusive content to draw users to their console. This money is security for the difference Bungie/Activision will see resulting from loss of sales to xbox users unhappy about this.

  • I know what you were taling about. Exclusive content is still dlc no matter what way you look at it. All I'm saying is if there is going to be exclusive content why sell it along with the dlc. It should have been free alone with the purchase of a ps3 or ps4. This would have been better for marketing, so people wouldn't feel ripped off. They are being sold one less thing at the full price .That's a ripp off even cod have exclusive content, but at least every one has it a month later.

    Fair enough. I see what you mean now, but I still disagree with the point you're trying to make (for the most part..). They did have exclusive content with the original game purchase, which is something you say they should do. It seems they are continuing that theme (the same exact thing) with the upcoming DLC but, that isn't acceptable to you? I'm not one to speak to [i]Sony's[/i] marketing strategy so I won't continue. Who knows, maybe they will eventually release the exclusive content to everyone eventually. I don't believe they have specifically said they would OR wouldn't do that.

  • You maybe right, someday they might release it. I just want a fair game for everyone, and I like destiny so much that I jujst hate when bad decisions drive people away. Nice chatting with you.

  • This string brought a tear to my eye, I was expecting rage and idiocy. A couple expletives and maybe a 'ur mum' in there. Nope, civility at its finest. Kudos.
